Considering a change
I am seriously considering changing my eating plan. Previously I have used a low-carb diet with varied success. Three years ago I lost 60 pounds fairly easily but this time it has been a struggle. Lately I have been incorporating more fruits into my diet so I enjoy it more but I have been so inconsistent with eating properly that I don’t know if my lack of weight loss is due to the fruit or the handfulls of mixed nuts, birthday cake, etc.
This week I have been reading “The Three Hour Diet” by Jorge Cruise and what he writes makes a lot of sense. Basically you eat every 3 hours to keep your metabolism burning. Now I have always incorporated this idea in a general sense with small snacks throughout the day but on this plan I would space out my calories throughout the day instead of eating probably half of them from 3pm on. Because of our schedule at school I won’t be able to adhere exactly to the 3 hour schedule but I can come fairly close.
<> Has anyone out there tried this approach? I know it will work if I stick to it (just like any diet plan) but I’m curious to know what others have found.
Yesterday was very good food and exercise-wise. Today hopefully won’t be any different because I will be able to workout after school. I know I’ll be tired because Kyle got up at 2:30 but I love to workout and I love how I feel afterward so it hopefully won’t be a struggle. I’ll also be tired because this is the first 5 day week of school we have had without a delay/early out since around Thanksgiving. I think spring is near!!!
Hi! Thanks for the comment.
I have been on Micheal Thurmond in the past. The first time that I went on it I lost over 40 lbs in less than a month, I didn’t feel hungary and I truly wasn’t ‘working the program’ I didn’t exercise in that month either but I didn’t get flabby or anything. I would recommend this program to anyone! It truly is wonderful! It is pricy but it is so worth every single penny!
Hope this helps!
The concept makes sense - it’s not new or groundbreaking - just communicates it differently. Basically, you’re body will only burn so many calories - what it needs - it will store the rest as fat. So if you’re on a 1200 calorie per day diet and space those out through out the day, your body will burn more and store less than if you were to have 1200 calories for breakfast and nothing else all day. You cannot bank calories on the pretense of using them later. So this diet - spacing the calories out over 3 hour increments makes sense for that simple reason. Good luck - will watch to see how it works for you.
